NOTE: The Dune (all blue handle) and the Ocean (blue/white handle) have different blades, more below...I was pleasantly surprised by the "Dune" version of this knife (all blue handle), given some of the mixed reviews. It's an extremely short blade style (2 3/8") and is actually really effective at usual shucking via the hinge, with one catch (below) -- blade shape is rounded triangular tapering from the handle -- so great for rocking the knife into the hinge and the sideways handle shape allows you to pop the hinge by twisting side-to-side. Blade is thick enough and short enough to not bend at all using this technique.Here's the catch -- the short blade may work well for me because as a leftie I cut the adductor muscle on the side of the shell closest to the muscle (lefties don't have to sweep the blade all the way across from the opposite side) -- so there's chance on a bigger oyster the blade might not reach across if you are right handed -- guess you could measure some of the oysters that you usually get and see if 2 3/8" will cut it.The short blade may be one of two reasons why the other reviewer characterized it as for side entry (French method) shucking. Second reason, is that Deglon also makes another knife, the "Ocean" with a three-pronged tip and a two-color handle that Deglon says is for side entry (on their website), so it's possible the other reviewer was reviewing that very different knife. The three prongs are designed to allow use of the knife as a auger to drill or chip open a hole in the side of the shell, and really could not be used easily to open the hinge. If you look closely you can see the three-prong straight-sided Ocean blade shape here:Here's why this is particularly confusing -- Amazon places both the Dune and the Ocean knives under the same listing, implying that handle color is the only difference -- NOT SO -- the blades are completely different (I own both of them).Hope this helps unravel things -- both are solid knives. I prefer the Dune to my traditional Boston-blade knife. The Ocean gives me a bulletproof way to get into the side of the shell, but so far doesn't save me much time due to the need to "drill/chip" the side-hole -- I expect this may change after shucking a few more dozen oysters._______________________________________________________FIVE YEAR UPDATE -- See photos of original 2013 Dune oyster knife:The original Dune oyster knife I purchased in 2013 is still going strong. If you look closely you can see that the blade has its fair share of scrapes and scratches -- but it has never bent, chipped, rusted, or discolored (often run it through the dishwasher) -- and it remains tight / food-safe at the joint with the handle. Continues to be my go-to oyster knife for any oyster in the small-to-medium/large range.We eat oysters year-round, mostly medium-sized, so as the weapon-of-choice, the Dune knife has now opened buckets of oysters and been bulletproof... I have never needed to unbox the brand new spare Dune (also pictured) that I bought as a backup just in case (yes, I prefer it that much).***Regarding the Ocean version (the other Déglon knife), contrary to my thought back in 2013 -- that it might be faster with some practice. I find that I use it only occasionally as augering into the side of the shell with the 3-point blade isn't faster than opening at the hinge. Also, when I do use the Ocean knife to open from the side, sometimes a fair amount of the bottom shell chips off in that area -- so the in-shell appearance suffers -- a consideration if serving guests or if baking the oysters with sauce loaded to the brim in-shell, as I often do.Overall, the Dune seems deceptively powerful for such a tiny knife, while the Ocean appears to be more for a brute force approach when you really need to open from the side.

I had great success with this shucker with all oysters except gulf monsters, for which this little guy does not produce enough heft/leverage. Handle design is brilliant, and blade behaves much like a boston style design. For the big guys and troublesome oyster clusters that no knife can conquer, I recommend a King Kooker oyster opener machine (with simple do it yourself mods detailed in Amazon reviews), which will dispose of any oyster cluster or giant bivalve you throw at it.http://www.amazon.com/King-Kooker-5500-Stainless-Oyster/dp/B003G30QUC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355845423&sr=8-1&keywords=king+kooker+oyster+opener

This is a good solid knife for opening oysters, but you should know that it's intended for opening oysters in the French style, from the side (instead of at the hinge). If you're looking to open oysters in what I'll venture to call the "normal" way - you need a smaller tip like this other knife has
